What wont it bottleneck?

[nerdsmadeearth]

Hey again guys! Im wondering what the fx-4300amd cpu won't bottleneck gpu wise. Im probably gonna be getting thw fx-4300 and I wanna know what amd gpus I can use with it. Thanks again guys!

Yeah it will bottleneck a lot. Any GPU really, it will reduce the framerate by about 10-20% sometimes more depending on the game.

maybe a r7 250 i'm not sure though

I'd throw something like an r9 270(x) or similar in there and call it a day. With games that support mantle, you'll be doing ok, and otherwise you will get less FPS than if you had a more powerful processor, but it will still play most stuff at 1080 medium to high with no real problems.

ok, thanks for the  comments

Thing is... you can put a highend GPU in there and still be @ 99-100% usage.

 

Thing is again... the CPU being slower than the other higher end CPU's, can only manage to pump out so much with what it has available.

So the Game Client Window, rendering in all its glory GPU bound with 99% usage, your FPS will still be lower than a higher specced CPU with the same graphics card. (Not by enough to make it unplayable, but enough to warrant upgrading for extra performance)
